Raja Ampat
Raja Ampat Islands population mostly fishermen. They live in a small village
which is separated from other villages because of the different islands. Island
communities are people who are friendly and kind. They want to receive guests
from the outside with a cheerful heart. Raja Ampat Islands resident partly
embraced Christianity, and some converted to Islam, but they remain in harmony
despite different beliefs. My advice, take sweets and betel nut to be given to
them because they consider the good is a sign of peace.
The name comes from the Raja Ampat local stories. According to the story, there
was a woman who found seven pieces of eggs. The eggs then hatch, 4 of which
hatches into a prince, while three other eggs hatch into a woman, a stone, and
ghosts. 4 The prince later became kings in their respective islands, namely
Pulau Misool, Waigeo Island, Batanta Island and Salawati Island and finally
called as Raja Ampat.

and the diversity of its underwater flora and fauna. Based on the research

automatically there are also many species of reef fish. In addition you can

pinisi ship Raja
Ampat

You will be faced with two choices on when you want to enjoy nature Raja Ampat
Islands. That choice is the choice to stay at a resort, or stay on a ship Phinisi
modified. If my advice does better choose to use pinisi ship, because it's very
usual to stay at the resort, while staying for a few days over a typical Indonesian
boat will be a unique experience. To enjoy the Raja Ampat travel for 1 week using
pinisi ship, you have to pay more than 100 million rupiah, and the ship can
accommodate up to 14 people.

Raja Ampat diving

If you want to travel to the Raja Ampat Islands, is not enough just to reckless
capital just as often do the backpacker. Traveled to the tourist attractions dubbed
this underwater paradise requires a strong desire, an adventurous spirit, penchant
for going diving, and sizable capital. If you expect the price of a trip to Raja
Ampat Islands will go down in the near future, you should throw away your expectations
because there are already regulations that limit the number of resorts and ships.
It aims to maintain the natural conditions Raja Ampat Islands to none in the
world. The high price also serves to filter visitors, so that only qualified
and educated visitor who comes, so they will realize the importance of this
location as one of the centers of flora and fauna of the most comprehensive in the
world.
